oil leaks and distributor

Slowly but surely I've been sealing up the oil leaks on my truck.
Ended up just capping where the breather was, and a new pcv and grommet.
Replaced the gasket on the pushrod cover.

Those two seemed to help, but I now can see that there is a very big leak right around the base of the distributor. now I know there is an o-ring on it that's supossed to seal it right? If so then I'm thinking that's the problem and am Wondering if anyone knows what size that ring is, would like to be able to just swap it out in my driveway and not have to find another vehicle to go and match it up with.

Left to seal is the timing gear cover (Dad overtightened and cracked it! Now he won't pay for a new one so I'm JB welding it, it worked when I tried it last I just didn't fully cover the crack)

and possibly the oil pan gasket tho not entirely necessary figured it might be good to do it anyways and also might need a rear main, figure that one out once oil isn't shooting all around from other places, thanks guys!
